Baby boy was cranky, crying at my legs and demanding my attention. I thought about locking myself in the bathroom and never coming out. He is so very two sometimes and it makes me a little crazy. The mess of the move isn’t helping. But I came up with an alternative. We donned our jackets, [...]
I will be the first to admit that I am a mean Mom. I am. I expect certain things and my children will have consequences for their actions. I am the Mom who, upon discovery of a mouthy child to a Sunday School teacher, required him to call and apologize to that teacher. I am [...]
Here I sit on the verge of Spring Break, with snow frozen to the ground and my eyes half open, contemplating my navel…or life. One of the two. On this fine spring/winter morning, I offer you tidbits of important information pertaining to…something. I think. I’m not sure. I don’t think I’m really awake yet. Maybe [...]
*****WARNING***** It has been brought to my attention that the music contained in this video has bad words. I always watch them on mute and was unaware!**** My children are absolute pros when it comes to faking an injury. I have seen them brush past each other in the hallway and one of them will [...]
We got a Furby for our daughter for Christmas. It looked cute and she begged. It was the biggest toy-purchasing mistake thus far in my parenting career. Don’t let it’s cuteness fool you, that thing is evil. After nearly two months of Furby ownership, I am now a Furby expert and it is my expert [...]
I love my children, I really do. But there are things they do that make me crazy. I’m talking tear my hair out, run screaming from the house crazy. Some of them are probably completely illogical, but that’s beside the point. The last few days, their quirks have been especially annoying. I blame it on [...]
I am bent over a cold stove, shoveling equally cold eggs in my mouth as quickly as I can manage. A thought floats briefly through my mind that perhaps I should reheat the eggs before consuming them, but the eggs are gone before I can execute my thought. My toddler fusses between my legs, begging [...]
I gather my rambunctious crew for our nightly advent calendar. It is a new tradition, one I started last year in an effort to bring more of the spirit of Christmas into our home. Mr. Baby sits happily on the couch for 1.2 seconds before he starts asking for his advent treat, a homemade chocolate [...]
You know how sometimes when you have too much stuff in a container and you try to put a lid on it, it will keep popping up? You’ll push down one side only to have the other side pop up. Then, once you carefully attend to the side that popped up and everything seems tight [...]
I lost my brain. I think it’s in San Francisco. Only I haven’t been to San Francisco in probably 10 years, so it has been missing for a while. Something important happened yesterday. I think. But right now I am wondering why my son is carrying around a badminton racket and where it came from. [...]
